Many will ask me; how long does it take to grind a stump. Well, this question actually has two factors to consider. One is about what type of stump you are dealing with. The other one is about the quality of the stump grinder you own. With a good quality grinder, it will always take less time and effort to finish the job.
So, your first job is finding an efficient stump grinder for the entire task. Once you get the right tool, you will be able to get the stump out really fast.

Buy the Right Type of Stump Grinder for Smooth Usage!
When you are looking for a stump grinder, it’s best to consider a few factors for smooth operation. Let me point each shortly below.
The Size
I told you already that there are various sizes available for a stump grinder. However, I prefer a light body because it gives me better freedom to maneuver spots. If you are a homeowner, beginner or simply a professional who needs a grinder for the minimal stump job, then go with lighter versions.
However, it may be better to own a heavy one if this is your job. For less fatigue and easier access, a slimmer stump grinder is the smartest choice no doubt.
Power
It’s about the horsepower of a stump grinder. Here your budget will have a direct impact, however. I believe, getting a suitable and standard horsepower is always a better option even with a bit high price.
And that’s how the game of horsepower works. With more price, you get higher horsepower. Don’t limit your budget to the extent where you can afford only a low-quality grinder.
Cutter Disk
Now you need to also focus on cutter disk. A defective one will totally ruin the work. So, make sure you give enough attention to the cutter disk and it needs to have sharp teeth. There should be almost no visible defect.
Portability
The stump grinder that is easy to carry and take to places will always be a better choice than a non-portable one.
Depth of Grinding
Get something that allows at least 20-inch depth of stump grinding, anything below that grade will not be ideal enough for almost any task. So, make sure your machine meets this very minimum.
Price
As I said already in the power section, it’s important to own a quality stump grinder. You should not ignore this at all. However, don’t also just put your money on anything that comes with a lot of features but most of them hardly help you in any way.
Be practical about the horsepower and then decide other additional features. This way you’ll be able to get something good at the price.
Verdict
You see, we really can’t tell about the exact time needed for this chore to be done. However, with a proper stump grinder, you can expect to finish really quick with satisfying results.
